The power of the holy name
While talking to a doctor during book distribution in Nelore, I saw a man standing a little distance away. After giving nine books to the doctor, I approached the man. His friend said, "No, no!" before I could even open my mouth to speak. I requested the first man to say Hare Krishna just once. That one-time Hare Krishna from his mouth led him to ask where I came from and what I was doing. Then, introducing myself, I started...

Sweet last night for Marathon book distributors
During the last night of the December book marathon (2013), at 11 p.m. the Manakau Westfield mall had just closed. Munjaranya Mataji and I were also ready to end the marathon, but we tried Vaisesika Prabhu's trick: “We'll just go and have a look at the spot.” Driving around, we concluded that the Kmart, though very busy, may not be safe this late at night. Driving to the Warehouse, I could find no good reason not...
Gauranga’s mercy !!!
In heavy traffic, suddenly Revati started patting my shoulder, asking me to stop. There was no marketplace or anything, but still she insisted on going back to the only shop on the road. The shop owner accepted our greeting of "Hare Krishna" and offered us chairs to sit on. We started showing him books, but he refused, refused, and refused again and again. So we told him about a mid-day meal program, and he was ready to...
